Do You Know an Inspiring K-5 Math Teacher?

The importance of mathematics instruction in our schools cannot be overestimated. To emphasize this reality, the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCCTM) and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) strive to recognize and reward Elementary school teachers who exemplify mathematics teaching excellence by nurturing students’ enthusiasm through involvement in mathematics fairs, projects, and competitions to supplement and enhance everyday classroom experiences. This recognition is for those teachers who succeed in motivating students to excel in mathematics. This is an excellent opportunity to nominate to your principal, a K-5 teacher from your school, or someone from your central office staff that you feel is deserving of this recognition. One teacher from your district will be selected and recognized at the NCCTM Conference!
